FOREWORD 

|  N  presenting  this  daily  menu  of  Spiritual 
\  food,  I  have  used  homely  expressions  and 
commonplace  comparisons.  I  hope  thereby  to 
simplify  the  principles  of  Truth  as  I  under- 
stand it,  and  have  been  able  to  demonstrate  it 
in  my  own  life  for  the  past  fourteen  years,  for 
health,  happiness  and  prosperity. 

Realizing  that  every  word  contained  in  these 
pages  has  been  a  great  blessing  to  me,  I  lov- 
ingly pass  it  on  as  a  message  to  all  the  world, 
for  Spiritual  Peace,  Mental  Poise,  Physical 
Perfection  and  Material  Prosperity. 

E.  C.  R. 


JANUARY 

1st — Begin  the  New  Year  by  taking  a  spir- 
itual inventory  to  find  out  what  kind 
of  stock  you  have  on  hand,  that  you  may 
start  the  year  aright. 

2nd — Mastery  is  never  gained  by  idleness. 

3rd — Strike  the  key  of  love,  and  your  life  will 
be  filled  with  harmony. 

4th — Lend  your  ear  to  the  cry  of  the  needy, 
and  your  voice  to  the  distressed. 

5th — I  will  keep  my  mind  open  to  the  inflow 
of  Divine  Power,  that  I  may  radiate  it 
to  all  the  world. 

6th — God  only  (only  Good)  can  come  to  you. 
There  is  no  reality  in  error. 

7th — The  power  of  Almighty  God  works 
through  you  now. 

7 


JANUARY 
8th — Give  thanks  and  rejoice. 

9th — Stop  saying  "I  am  careful,"  and  instead 
say  "  I  am  thoughtful — filled  with  cor- 
rect thought."     You  will  be  harmonious. 

10th — Train  yourself  to  forget  all  sickness  and 
discord.  By  re-membering,  which  is 
but  putting  together  again,  you  will  find 
unpleasant  experiences  repeated. 

11th — Let  the  Christ  in  you  lead  you  today. 

12th — Do  not  be  afraid  to  use  your  mind  in 
creating,  which  means  imaging.  By 
daily  practice  you  will  strengthen  these 
faculties. 

13th — We  must  eat,  digest  and  assimilate  the 
truth  as  it  is  presented  to  us,  if  we  would 
be  nourished  by  it. 


JANUARY. 

14th — "I  am  limitless  Life. 

I  am  formless  Substance. 
I  am  painless  Power." 

15th — "I  am  thankful  for  the  good  ever  at  hand, 
and  I  now  realize  abundant  supply." 

16th — "Infinite  Wisdom  guides  me  through 
this  day  and  my  affairs  are  now  all  in 
Divine  order." 

17th — If  thou  wouldst  have  peace,  follow  the 
Christ  within  thee. 

18th — You  are  renewed  and  strengthened  to 
meet  the  problems  of  this  day. 

19th — The  spirit  of  peace  is  upon  me,  and  I 
now  breathe  the  breath  of  Life,  which 
is  God  (Good). 

20th— Hang  out  the  headlight  of  Truth  before 
you  start  on  your  journey  today. 


JANUARY 

21st — I  am  pure  spirit,  and  am  therefore  per- 
fect in  every  department  of  my  being 
this  minute. 


22nd — To  the  degree  that  we  practice  the  truth 
we  know,  are  we  free. 

23rd — I  am  conscious  of  Infinite  Power. 


24th — The  Holy  Fire  is  now  kindled  within 
you,  and  is  consuming  the  chaff  of  sen- 
timent and  all  untrueness. 

25th — God  breathes  upon  you,  and  you  speak 
the  word  that  heals  you;  for  "Your 
words  are  Spirit  and  they  are  Life." 

26th — When  the  senses  send  in  false  alarms, 
ring  them  off. 

27th — I  am  Love,  and  I  will  express  and  mani- 
fest it  to  everything  and  everybody. 

10 


JANUARY 

28th — "We  all  carry  the  secret  of  prosperity 
within  our  own  bosom — we  have  but  to 
learn  how  to  use  it.  The  Spirit  within 
and  experience  without  are  willing 
teachers  to  him  who  listens  and  ob- 
serves." 

29th — I  am  like  a  flower — I  have  nothing  to  do 
but  to  unfold  and  grow. 

30th — I  am  pure  and  holy,  I  am  fearless  and 
free. 

31st — Watch  your  mentality  for  one  day  and 
you  will  be  surprised  to  see  how  many 
false  suggestions  you  have  not  only  tol- 
erated but  actually  entertained. 


11 


FEBRUARY. 

1st — We  can  not  force  our  spiritual  growth 
with  any  greater  rapidity  than  we  can 
our  physical  growth. 

2nd — To  continually  express  the  thought,  "I 
can  not  see,"  and  "I  can  not  under- 
stand," will  act  upon  the  organs  of  see- 
ing and  hearing  and  cause  their  lack. 

3rd — If  you  fall  down  mentally,  do  what  you 
would  if  you  fell  down  physically — get 
up  with  all  possible  haste. 

4th — All  the  faults  we  see  in  others,  lie  hidden 
in  ourselves,  or  we  could  not  discern 
them. 

5th — "All  power  under  Heaven  and  on  earth 
is  given  unto  me,"  is  as  true  today  for 
you  as  it  was  for  the  great  Master  two 
thousand  years  ago. 

6th — Love  is  the  secret  of  healing.  Cultivate 
more.     "God  is  love." 


12 


FEBRUARY 

7th — Have  you  a  daily  task  to  perform  that 
seems  hard?  Call  it  easy  and  see  the 
results. 

8th — "By  thy  words  shalt  thou  be  justified, 
and  by  thy  words  shalt  thou  be  con- 
demned."    Speak  true  words. 

9th — Tell  yourself  often  what  you  really  are 
— Pure  Spirit. 

10th — Do  you  feel  weak?  Think  and  speak 
strength. 

11th — Spirit  is  immune  from  all  disease. 

12th — I  am  free,  I  am  free,  I  am  absolutely 
FREE,  by  the  spoken  word  of  God. 

13th — Why  should  you  not  discard  your  old 
thought  garments  with  the  same  ease 
that  you  do  your  worn-out  material 
garments? 

13 


FEBRUARY 

14th — Nothing    (no   thing)    can   come  between 
me  and  my  Good. 

15th — Watch  for  the  phenomenon  that  follows 
your  thought. 


16th — The  most  difficult  thing  we  have  to  mas- 
ter is  self,  but  it  can  be  done. 

17th — We  can  not  afford  to  indulge  in  the 
weakness  of  self  pity. 

18th — Life  is  limitless.  The  consciousness  of 
limitation  is  in  the  human  mind  only. 

19th — I  am  sensitive  and  receptive  to  truth  and 
truth  alone. 

20th — True  happiness  is  not  obtained  in  the 
possession  of  things,  but  rather  in  the 
possession  of  self. 

14 


FEBRUARY 

21st — Intelligence  is  the  power  that  moves  the 
world,  for  God  is  Intelligence. 

22nd — Have  faith  in  God — the  scientific  analy- 
sis of  which  means,  Have  faith  in  Mind. 

23rd — Be  still  and  you  will  absorb  the  univer- 
sal Peace,  wherever  you  are. 

24th — "Demand  is  the  proof  of  supply  already 
in  store,  but  faith  is  the  vital  element 
which  makes  it  consciously  ours." 

25th — In  the  midst  of  great  activity  we  draw 
from  the  universal  store-house  whatever 
we  need. 

26th — God  is  Infinite  and  Omni-present.  Rea- 
lize this  great  truth  daily. 

27th — Be  still  and  let  peace  steal  through  you 
until  you  feel  the  infinite  strength  of 
your  own  mind. 

15 


FEBRUARY 

28th — "The  mental  attitude  determines  your 
destiny,  as  the  rudder  determines  the 
course  of  a  ship." 

29th — The  Spirit — the  great  I  Am — is  with  you 
always.  Its  presence  shall  be  a  guid- 
ing star. 


1« 


MARCH. 

1st — Faith  is  a  mental  condition  which  acts 
chemically  on  the  cells  of  the  physical 
body. 

2nd — Get  your  grade  of  health  established; 
then  you  will  be  at  rest  on  that  subject. 

3rd — I  am  vibrating  with  health,  strength, 
vigor  and  courage.

of  health  because  I  am  alive  with  Spirit. 

5th — The  healing  streams  of  Divine  Love  are 
penetrating  every  atom  of  my  being,  be- 
cause I  open  myself  to  receive. 

6th — I  cannot  be  persuaded,  confused,  or 
thwarted  by  any  mortal  mind,  either  in 
the  flesh  or  out  of  the  flesh,  for  I  am  pure 
spirit. 

17 


MARCH 

7th — A  visit  to  your  mental  attic  will  reveal 
much  dust  and  many  cobwebs. 

8th — Do  not  be  afraid  to  let  go  of  your  old 
clothing,  nor  allow  accumulations  of 
things  for  which  you  have  no  use;  pass 
them  on  to  those  who  can  use  them,  and 
your  thoughts  will  change  to  correspond. 

9th — Remove  the  armor  of  resistance  and  put 
on  the  breastplate  of  love.

do  we  lack  the  quality  of  love  the  Great

you  and  it  will  consume  all  unlike  itself. 

12th — Do  not  open  the  door  when  the  devil  of 
disappointment  knocks.  You  will  save 
yourself  much  suffering. 

18 


MARCH 

13th — Fumigate  your  minds  daily  to  destroy 
adverse  thought  germs. 

14th — Hold  the  mental  picture  of  what  you 
desire  until  it  comes  into  visible  expres- 
sion. 

15th — The  Divine  Power  within  us  will  express 
itself  as  we  exercise  more  faith. 

16th — There  is  nothing  gained  by  merely  lov- 
ing those  who  love  us  and  are  lovable 
— loving  the  unlovely  is  victory. 

17th — Nothing  can  keep  me  from  manifesting 
my  good. 

18th — A  Mental  Prescription. 

Bathe  with  the  oil  of  Harmony, 
Take  a  hypodermic  injection  of  the  crea- 
tive power  of  Love, 
Inhale  the  narcotic  of  Peace, 
And  all  will  be  well. 


19 


MARCH 

19th — "The  perfect  life  is  flowing  through  me 
now,  carrying  the  pure  substance  for 
every  need." 

20th — "Life  is  circulation,  not  accumulation." 

21st — Take  a  peep  into  your  mental  picture 
gallery  (sub-conscious  mind)  and  see 
how  many  out-of-date  pictures  you  still 
have  hanging  there. 

22nd — When  we  ask  wisdom  of  the  Spirit  and 
receive  the  plain  answer,  great  is  the  re- 
ward if  we  obey  it. 

23rd — I  am  conscious  of  Infinite  Power  within 
me. 

24th — Better  oil  your  mental  machinery  before 
beginning  the  duties  of  the  day — it  will 
prevent  friction. 

25th — Love,  if  persistently  held  to,  will  dis- 
solve all  hatred  and  bitterness. 


20 


MARCH 

26th — Let  us  train  ourselves  to  ask  advise  of 
the  Spirit  about  the  little  things  of  daily 
life  as  well  as  the  great  ones,  instead  of 
asking  our  friends. 

27th — I  find  that  weeding  my  mental  garden 
daily  of  fear,  jelousy  and  criticism,  saves 
time  and  suffering. 

28th — The  power  of  Divine  Mind  is  acting 
novo  on  each  cell  of  my  body,  because 
I  open  myself  to  its  influence. 

29th — Meditating  much  upon  universal  Love 
will  attract  only  people  and  things  into 
our  lives  that  are  pleasant  and  har- 
monious. 

30th — Resistance  is  like  an  attempt  to  row  up 
stream  against  the  current:  we  meet 
many  obstacles  and  make  little  progress.

and  the  journey  will  be  easy  if  we  drop 
our  burdens.

by  its  genial  glow. 

2nd — The  Eternal  Peace  of  God  is  kept  by 
continual  non-resistance. 

3rd — The  conditions  we  resist  so  hard  today, 
we  are  often  glad  to  embrace  tomorrow 
as  opportunity. 

4th — We  cannot  do  our  best  work  today,  if 
we  allow  regret  of  yesterday  or  anxiety 
for  tomorrow  to  creep  in. 

5th — Though  I  am  crucified  daily  by  persecu- 
tions, yet  will  I  rise  again  spiritually. 

6th — The  human  family  is  like  a  great  orches-

fests. 

9th — In  my  mental  dictionary  there  are  no

hour,  and  this  attitude  of  mind  brings 
greater  blessings. 

15th — "The  flavor  of  life  is  contentment."

power  of  the  indwelling  Spirit  is  recog- 
nized. 

17th — Why  struggle  to  get  away  from  our  en- 
vironment? Should  we  not  rather  con- 
serve our  energies  to  use  them  in  bless- 
ing with  love  the  conditions  which  seem 
hard? 

18th — I  am  a  pulsation  of  the  Universe. 

19th — "The  first  step  in  demonstrating  Love 
is  to  recognize  it  as  a  principal  in  man.

open."

in  me  now  to  accomplish  everything  I 
desire.

the  Universal  Forces — put  yourself  in 
touch  with  the  harmonies  of  life. 

22nd — If  we  are  to  feel  life  we  must  think  life 
— study  it  in  bud  and  blossom,  in  sun- 
shine and  rain.  It  is  everywhere,  in 
everything. 

23rd — "Daylight,  starlight,  moonlight  or  no 
light,  let  your  light  so  shine  that  you 
can  out-radiate  radium."

material  food  I  need  for  this  day. 

29th — Our  experiences  are  our  life  preservers, 
if  we  learn  the  lessons  they  teach. 

30th — Do  not  try  to  put  new  thoughts  and  old 
ones  together — they  will  clash.  Let  go 
of  your  ideas  of  yesterday,  then  will  you 
have  room  for  the  truth  you  may  learn 
today. 


26 


MAY. 

1st — If  we  but  touch  the  hem  of  the  garment

2nd — Let  alone  the  things  you  do  not  under- 
stand and  live  the  things  you  do  under- 
stand. 


3rd — Do  I  believe  in  surgical  operations? 
Most  emphatically  I  do — in  mental  sur- 
gery. There  can  be  no  permanent  heal- 
ing until  the  adhesions  of  false  ideas  or 
beliefs  are  cut  away.  It  is  the  mind  of 
the  patient  that  must  be  operated  upon. 

4th — "Never  lie  down  at  night  in  the  clothing 
of  the  day;  take  off  your  thought  gar- 
ments with  your  material  garments,  that 
they  may  be  alike  freshened  for  the  mor- 
row's wearing.,, 

27 


MAY 

5th — Let  us  cremate  past  thoughts,  so  there 
will  be  no  graves  to  visit  to  refresh  our 
memories. 

6th — Believe  in  yourself,  respect  yourself,  and 
you  will  attract  people  into  your  life  who 
will  likewise  believe  in  and  respect  you. 

7th — Remember  thy  Creator  every  day  in  this 
expression  of  life. 

8th — "Pleasure  does  not  come  from  the  num- 
ber of  enjoyments  coming  into  one's  life, 
but  the  capacity  of  enjoyment  one 
possesses.  With  plenty  of  the  latter,  the 
smallest  thing  gives  pleasure." 

9th — I  am  in  the  midst  of  Infinite  Life. 

10th — Truth  like  the  multiplication  table,  is 
hard  to  learn,  but  makes  the  solving 
of  life's  problems  easier  after  it  is 
learned. 


2S 


MAY 

11th — We  make  greater  progress  by  forgetting 
the  false  ideas  we  have  been  taught  than 
by  struggling  to  obtain  what  is  called 
New  Thought. 

12th — Call  none  Teacher  but  one — the  Spirit 
within  thee. 

13th — In  order  to  keep  the  face  free  from 
wrinkles,  we  must  erase  the  wrinkles 
from  our  minds. 

14th — You  feel  good  because  God  is  Omni- 
present. 

15th — Think  of  your  body  as  a  mirror  which 
reflects  what  you  hold  before  it;  then 
watch  what  kind  of  mental  pictures  you 
are  showing  to  this  mirror. 

16th — You  came  from  an  harmonious  source, 
hence  you  are  harmonious. 

17th — I  am  guided  this  day  by  love. 
29 


MAY 

18th — Be  glad  for  the  daily  experiences  we  call 
trials — they  lead  us  on  to  greater  un- 
foldment. 

19th — Cease  to  struggle  and  let  the  power 
within  do  your  work  for  you. 

20th — "Like  a  beautiful  flower,  full  of  color  but 
without  perfume,  are  the  fine  but  fruit- 
less words  of  him  who  does  not  act  ac- 
cordingly." 

21st — Grow  like  the  lilies  of  the  field,  nothing 
doubting,  nothing  fearing,  with  perfect 
trust  in  the  Eternal  and  intelligent  life 
within. 

22nd — I  absolutely  refuse  to  acknowledge  any- 
thing the  senses  register  falsely. 

23rd — "He  in  whom  the  love  of  truth  predomi- 
nates will  keep  himself  free  from  all 
mooring  and  afloat." 

30 


MAY 

24th — Seek  always  the  cause  that  makes  well, 
rather  than  the  cause  that  makes  sick. 


25th — Let  us  learn  to  suspend  thought  at  least 
once  daily,  that  we  may  vibrate  with 
universal  harmony.  This  is  perfect  re- 
laxation. 


26th — Can  you  imagine  Life  as  sick  or  weak  or 
tired?  You  are  Life.  Life  is  harmoni- 
ous.    Life  is  God. 

27th — One  needs  to  use  all  his  faculties  daily, 
or  they  will  become  useless.  If  you  put 
your  arm  in  a  sling,  it  will  soon  become 
weakened. 


28th — See  to  it  that  you  daily  clothe  yourself 
with  love.  It  matters  little  what  the 
material  garment  is,  if  we  put  on  the 
garment  of  love. 

31 


MAY 

29th — "He  (Divine  Mind)  shall  give  His  angels 
(thy  good  thoughts)  charge  over  thee, 
to  keep  thee  in  all  thy  ways.  They  (the 
good  thoughts)  shall  bear  thee  up  in 
their  hands,  lest  thou  dash  thy  foot 
against  a  stone." 

30th — "Whatever  the   Father  hath  is   mine, 
and  I  will  manifest  it."  Make  this  posi- 
tive decision  this  day,  and  every  day. 

31st — Do  not  be  satisfied  to  let  your  neighbor 
grow  your  mental  flowers,  any  more 
than  you  would  your  natural  flowers. 


JUNE. 

1st — This  day  will  I  cultivate  the  fruits  of  the 
Spirit — love,  patience,  joy,  peace,  etc., 
all  within  me. 

2nd — There  is  no  more  lack  of  health  or 
wealth  than  there  is  of  the  air  we 
breathe. 

3rd — This  day  is  yours.  Yesterday  is  gone — 
tomorrow  is  not  yet  born.  Today  is  all 
you  have — improve  it. 

4th — Live  each  hour  as  if  it  were  your  last,  in 
the  sense  that  you  live  it  your  best. 

5th — If  you  are  self-hypnotized,  is  it  not  time 
to  break  the  spell?  Right  understand- 
ing will  do  it. 

6th — Awaken  and  know  that  you  are  in  tune 
with  the  infinite  harmony  of  the  uni-

how,

44 


AUGUST 

5th — The  source  from  which  you  came  is  an 
harmonious  one,  and  like  begets  like  is

be  imperfect?

will  be  realized.

10th — The  definition  Paul  gives  of  faith,  is  the

cultivate  more  faith,  which  is  the  great- 
est factor  in  success.

21st — What  kind  of  seed  are  you  planting  in

choice  fruit,  and  vice  versa. 


47 


AUGUST 

22nd — Do  not  be  worried  if  you  cannot  read

God  does  my  every  hunger  feed."

4th — In  climbing  the  mountain  of  life,  do  not

may  reach  the  same  elevation.

ment  with  the  Power  which  is  ever  at

flavor.  Enjoy  it  as  it  is,  while  it  is  with 
you."

You  and  I  are  part  of  the  universe,  are 
we  not?  Well,  then,  how  can  we  see 
ourselves  as  anything  but  harmonious? 

10th — "A  man  that  hath  friends  must  show 
himself  friendly."

a  perfect  source,  and  you  are  therefore 
perfect.

not  excuse  any  of  us.  If  we  violate  law 
we  suffer. 

2nd — We  do  not  have  to  learn  through  suffer- 
ing. There  is  a  better  way.  Under- 
standing of  truth  prevents  suffering. 

3rd — To  the  degree  that  humanity  under- 
stands telepathy  will  each  person  be- 
come a  wireless  station  in  himself. 

4th — Love  and  wisdom  are  twins  and  we 
need  their  constant  ministry  to  obtain 
best  results. 

5th — In  our  spiritual  travels  we  do  not  gain 
much  by  rushing  to  catch  a  limited  train.

NOVEMBER 

6th — "Sometimes  a  thunder  storm,  sometimes 
the  desert  heat.  Sometimes  birth  and 
again  death.  All  are  but  variations  of 
but  one  thing — Life." 

7th — Guard  well  thy  thoughts,  for  every 
thought  impressed  upon  the  sub-con- 
scious mind,  is  either  constructive  or 
destructive  to  the  body. 

8th — If  your  mental  airship  is  guided  by 
divine  mind,  you  will  be  able  to  soar  to 
great  spiritual  heights  without  danger  of 
disaster. 

9th — Even  the  dew-drop  hidden  in  a  rose  petal 
can  speak  to  us  in  a  language  all  its  own, 
if  we  keep  ourselves  in  tune  with  the 
harmony  of  the  universe. 

10th — "I  stay  my  haste,  I  make  delay, 
For  what  avails  this  eager  pace? 
I  stand  amid  th'  eternal  ways, 
And  what  is  mine  shall  know  my  face." 

62 


NOVEMBER 

11th — Get  into  the  habit  of  thinking  letters  to 
God,  the  Father,  detailing  your  position 
as  you  would  write  to  a  dear  friend. 
Expect  the  same  helpful  response. 

12th — As  you  bathe  your  body,  realize  it  a 
symbol  of  the  cleansing  of  all  impurity 
of  the  mind  as  well.  "Whatsoever  ye  do, 
do  all  to  the  glory  of  God." 

13th — Mind  is  God  individualized  in  the  soul. 
Body  is  that  soul  externalized.  Three 
in  one — all  mind. 

14th — "We  none  of  us  know  one  another, 
And  oft  into  error  may  fall. 
Then  let  us  speak  well  of  a  brother 
Or  speak  of  him  not  at  all." 

15th — We  find  many  people  unable  to  demon- 
strate the  principle  of  Truth  because  of 
too  much  reading.  They  are  in  a  state 
of  mental  indigestion.  Let  the  spirit 
within  you  teach  you. 

63 


NOVEMBER 

16th — "Sentimentality  boiled  down  to  its 
residue,  leaves  nothing  at  all  in  the  ket- 
tle." 

17th — Intuition  is  a  rare  flower  which  springs 
from  the  garden  of  the  soul.  Reason  is 
the  product  of  the  intellect.  Cultivate 
both  and  have  poise. 

18th — The  practical  life  is  the  only  sensible 
and  satisfactory  one,  and  the  results  are 
visible. 

19th — Have  you  ever  stopped  to  think,  my 
friend,  of  the  difference  between  spiritual 
wisdom  and  intellectual  knowledge? 

20th — As  water,  ice  and  vapor  are  all  one  sub- 
stance, so  also  are  mind,  soul  and  body, 
but  in  different  forms  of  expression. 

21st — If  we  are  to  become  as  a  little  child  in 
order  to  enter  the  kingdom  of  heaven, 
let  us  study  the  child  and  ask  ourselves, 
what  would  a  child  do— especially  in  the 
matter  of  forgiveness. 

64 


NOVEMBER 
22nd — "Perseverance  conquereth  all  things." 

23rd — "Self  pity  is  a  grievous  fault  and  weak- 
ness ;  we  cannot  see  straight  nor  clearly 
while  we  permit  it  to  remain." 

24th — The  more  we  cultivate  the  thankful 
spirit  for  the  blessings  we  now  have,  the 
more  generously  will  blessings  be  mul- 
tiplied. 

25th — "Let  us  be  thankful  for  the  life  that  now 
is,  and  trust  Him  for  the  life  that  is  to 

come." 

26th — We  should  be  thankful  for  our  present 
existence,  and  more  thankful  that  we 
have  the  ability  to  enjoy  the  beauties  of 
all  creation. 

27th — The  spirit  of  thankfulness  invites  the 
good;  then  let  us  cultivate  daily  the 
thankful  thought. 

65 


NOVEMBER 

28th — What  we  are  conscious  of  today,  be- 
comes subconscious  tomorrow.  It  is 
said  that  we  live  in  97  per  cent  subcon- 
sciousness; can  we  watch  the  3  per 
cent  today? 

29th — "Nothing  can  bring  you  peace  but  your- 
self; nothing  can  bring  you  peace  but 
the  triumph  of  principles." 

30th — Put  all  of  yourself  into  the  work  you 
are  engaged  in  today;  try  to  love  the 
thing  or  employment  which  heretofore 
you  have  loathed,  thereby  gaining  free- 
dom.

DECEMBER. 

1st — Are  you  bowed  down  with  anguish,  and 
does  your  load  seem  greater  than  you  can 
bear?  Ask  the  Father  to  give  you  some- 
thing to  do  for  somebody,  quick. 

2nd — A  good  definition  of  science  is  sense — 
common  sense. 

3rd — Adverse  suggestions  and  unpleasant  en- 
vironment, can  in  no  way  deter  the  spir- 
itual growth  of  the  individual  who  has 
determined  to  make  attainment,  here 
and  now. 

4th — "If  we  are  not  responsible  for  the 
thoughts  that  pass  our  doors,  we  are  at 
least  responsible  for  those  we  admit  and 
entertain." 

5th — Love  is  the  key  to  the  kingdom;  use  it, 
and  let  yourself  in. 


DECEMBER 

6th — An  abiding  peace  is  the  compensation  of 
him  who  is  perfectly  honest  with  him- 
self at  all  times. 

7th — Of  all  the  expression  of  love,  there  is 
perhaps  none  so  much  appreciated  as 
the  love  of  a  little  child;  it  is  free  from 
adulteration,  and  we  feel  its  purity. 

8th — We  have  but  to  touch  the  button  of  di- 
vinity, and  lo!  the  healing  current  of 
power  is  turned  on. 

9th — Until  we  have  gained  a  firm  foothold 
consciously  in  truth,  perhaps  the  greatest 
adversary  we  have  to  agree  with,  is  in 
the  sub-conscious  mind. 

10th — All  worry  is  caused  by  fear.  The  anti- 
dote is  love. 

11th — Love  is  the  power  which  casts  out  devils 
and  heals  the  sick.  If  you  desire  to  do 
these  mighty  works,  meditate  constantly 
on  love. 


68 


DECEMBER 

12th — "The  one  who  understands  his  thoughts 
and  guides  them  in  the  way  they  should 
go,  is  happy  and  a  power  for  good.  He 
keeps  himself  poised,  happy  and  pros- 
perous." 

13th — Jesus  Christ  understood  perfectly  the 
law  of  non-resistance.  Resistance  is  but 
acknowledgement  of  the  real  presence  of 
evil,  and  we  are  to  keep  the  eye  single 
to  the  good. 

14th — Let  us  train  ourselves  to  speak  well  of 
our  health,  our  friends,  our  environment 
and  our  material  affairs ;  that  is  blessing 
them,  and  is  a  power  in  action. 

15th — Whatever  we  realize  as  good  for  our- 
selves, let  us  know  is  true  for  all  man- 
kind. We  liberate  our  thought  to  bless 
the  world. 

16th — "If  we  are  filled  with  love,  there  is  noth- 
ing in  us  to  respond  to  a  false  note." 

69 


DECEMBER 

17th — The  divine  artist  who  has  so  lavishly 
bestowed  his  colors  in  the  floral  king- 
dom, is  waiting  to  give  to  your  character 
and  mine  just  the  right  tint,  when  we 
are  ready. 

18th — The  reward  of  continual  loving,  is  per- 
petual happiness. 

19th — The  blessings  of  a  gift  will  be  limited  to 
the  recipient,  if  love  is  not  back  of  it. 

20th — We  may  all  enrich  the  world  at  this 
time  with  our  thought.  Beautiful  things 
are  not  the  only  gifts  we  may  make  our 
friends — thoughts  of  love  often  bless 
them  more. 

21st — Let  us  abolish  the  word  "charity"  in  our 
giving  at  all  times,  and  use  in  its  place 
the  word  "love." 

22nd — Let  us  not  strive  to  see  how  much  we 
can  get,  but  rather  how  much  we  can 
give.  "It  is  more  blessed  to  give  than 
to  receive." 

TO 


DECEMBER 

23rd — The  greatest  gift  we  can  covet,  is  the 
gift  to  love. 

24th — We  all  have  something  to  give  to  some 
one.  Speak  the  word  that  gives  health; 
send  the  thought  which  gives  mental 
relief,  or  give  your  time  in  some  homely 
service. 

25th — "Unto  you  is  born  this  day,  a  Saviour 
which  is  Christ  the  Lord,"  if  you  can 
realize  the  power  within  yourself,  that 
consciousness  saves  you. 

26th — The  service  of  love  that  we  can  give  our 
fellow  beings  all  through  the  year,  is 
worth  more  than  the  mere  exchange  of 
trifles  at  this  time. 

27th — "A  true  soul  asks  nothing  of  its  fellows 
but  to  be  allowed  to  give." 

28th — Things  and  people  cease  to  annoy  one 
who  is  living  in  the  divine  love  con- 
sciousness. 


71 


DECEMBER 

29th — To  your  nobler  self  be  true ;  reward  will 
come  at  last. 

30th — If  the  product  of  our  mental  garden  has 
not  been  satisfactory  the  past  year,  let 
us  change  the  seed  (thought)  before 
planting  time  again. 

31st — Dessert  for  the  last  course : 
Spiritual  cake  recipe : 
One    part    sugar — which  represents  the 
sweetness  of  love. 

A  portion  of  butter — which  mixes  easily, 
and  stands  for  peace. 
Eggs — without  which  it  would  be  a  fail- 
ure, represent  life. 

Milk — "the  milk  of  human  kindness." 
Baking  powder — which  lightens,  is  the 
symbol  of  joy. 

Flour — which  holds  all  together,  is  har- 
mony. 

The  flavor  is  contentment. 
Stir  well  together,  and  bake  in  a  mod- 
erate oven — poise — neither  hot  nor  cold. 
Serve  with  satisfaction.

The  best  tonic 
we  can  give  our  friends 
is  "A  Smile."
